They might want to rename this bottling to, “Everything Including the Kitchen Sink”. It is a blend of mostly; Zinfandel 65%, Syrah, Petite Syrah. Tempranillo, Trousseau, Castets, Cabernet, Merlot, Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, Lenoir and more. 🤯

It’s aged in 25% new oak for 10 month and the rest in used oak.

It drinks like a Zinfandel that you might think has a couple other varieties, not that long list.

It is pleasant at pop & pour. But full disclosure, I don’t embrace much in the way of Zin’s. When I do it’s primarily Ridge’s blend.

This is juicy, red, purple & blue fruity fruits. Some dry top soil, some used leather, light pepper, moist clays, some herbaceous notes, dark chocolate to mousse, mid berry cola, lots of fresh, red, blue and purple flowers, pleasant, round acidity, a nicely balanced, lush, elegant, polished finish that lands on earthiness & wood powder.

It is not bad but at $54.95, there are Ridge’s I buy first for under this price point. — 3 days ago

Rating is for the Chardonnay of the Edna Valley. A solid crisp Sonoma Chard with hints of apple. What a buy at TJs for just $10 for a limited time. — 2 years ago

Still fruity and primary at seven years, slight pretty deep rose or violet to my impaired nose, cake spice and berries on palate, open since Monday night and want to hold a bit for tomorrow, still…but it’s a deep California glou-glou! — 3 years ago

RRV has never been one of my favorite Zin regions, but an old vineyard like this trumps that. Even at this young age the nose is lively, with deep spicy blackberry fruit and gravelly earth notes. intense and quite structured on the palate, with full body and nice acids. I’m drinking it way too young. It will age beautifully. 9.32 right now, likely higher in a few years. — a year ago

Another rollercoaster experience with Bedrock but happily this was on the up side; maybe 10 years is the key. Opened, tasted put in an aerator and went to dinner. The wine was excellent start to finish and did not seem to change much. A lot of dark fruits all around, smooth finish and just drinking great. Too busy at dinner with friends to have detailed notes. — 3 months ago

2014, this could have travelled for another decade and still be fantastic, living at the bottom of the Pacific our Australian cousins make there own version, great for a BBQ but this had a far more noble heritage — 2 years ago

A medium-to full-bodied red that is well-balanced. The tannins encourage the cherry and spice flavors to open up. The profile slowly shifts (after it has been opened ) to introduce it’s ancient Mediterranean heritage of mineralogy, spices of oregano and olives. The long finish connects all the flavors to allow for complete enjoyment. Italian Wine at its best. — 3 years ago
